About CVE

We serve children and families in the Magdalena de Kino region of Sonora, Mexico by providing family-style care and holistic education rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

What began as a children's home in 2005 has become a three-branch ministry: a private school, an after-school program, and residential care for children.

By addressing the spiritual, physical, emotional, educational and social needs of each child, we pray that they might become community changers and influencers for the gospel in Magdalena and beyond.

CVE is a ministry of the Apostolic Christian Church of America through the HarvestCall organization.
